Mega Sponsor Spring Blog Hop

Hello everyone!

If you're new to our blog, thanks for stopping by! If you're a regular follower, welcome back! We're so excited to be participating and sharing some fun projects with you! We have partnered with seventeen additional stamp and papercrafting companies for this Spring blog hop, giving away 18 prizes to 18 lucky winners! All the details for participating can be found at the end of this post.

Spring has finally arrived here in the Pacific Northwest. As I'm writing this, the sun is shining and the grass and weeds are growing! It feels good to know summer is just around the corner.

We chose some products from Concord & 9th to create some wonderful cards for the Spring projects we'll be sharing today. We hope you enjoy them and that they inspire you to get creative.

The Posie Fill-in stamp set is perfect for creating backgrounds using multiple colors. I used the MISTI stamping tool, and created numerous backgrounds in multiple colors, quickly. The MISTI allowed me to switch colors easily without having to line up stamps each time.I used the backgrounds to create several cards, and have a couple left for some future projects.

I trimmed the background for the card above using the Stitched Scallop Basic Edges from MFT Stamps and added "Thanks" from the Concord and 9th Fabulous Phrases die set.

I used the Wonky Stitches die from Avery Elle to trim this background. Added some ovals and another phrase from the Fabulous Phrases Die set from Concord and 9th.

One last card to share, and some backgrounds that I hope to make into cards soon.

I love how hopping with this giveaway inspires me. I absolutely LOVE the grey added to your colors. It is just a perfect and classy look without being black. I think I forget about grey and I shouldn't. Love these cards and backgrounds. I just got a C9 fill in stamp over the weekend and I'm anxious to try it out! Thank you for the opportunity to win and the fabulous giveaways!

I just LOVE the soft gray and yellow and gray and blue color palettes you used!!! These beautiful clean and simple cards are just perfect and I love that you could make a bunch of these and give them as a set to someone as a gift - I love giving something handmade along with something bought and these would be perfect. So creative - thank you for sharing with us!! :)

It's so NICE to see You on the blog hop! I love Doodlebugs! Fab job on the C&9th cards and backgrounds, too! Please ask the blog hop companies to tell us where the winners will be posted. Many thanks ♥
